[Verse 1]
Well I been [?] like morning low
And I don't wanna treat [?] me not to go
When all the morning birds that fly away so so high
[?] each and every one, my baby and I

[Verse 2]
I want to leave you now get married by
I want to leave you now but my heart says neither do I
Well I don’t want a mountain rainbow, it [?]
[?] my girl and Mary Lou my love comes down

[Verse 3]
Now it’s a tune a week more happy tunes that they sang
And she dances me for the merry gift I can bring
Well that wide old mountain stand so high, wide and blue
O Mary Lou, can't you see I love you too?

[Verse 4]
I want to leave you now but my heart's too slow
I want to leave you, Mary Lou, but my heart says don't go
Now so I'm sitting down in this old café ah well
[?] going to leave you now and my dear old happy home
